How My Op Went

Wow, it has been a tough 5 days.... though initially that it would be a simple op....

For those who don't know, sorry for did not informing earlier.....

I went for a tonsil extraction and nose channel clearing on the 19th, last Wed.

The day went roughly like this:

7am: Warded into Sunway Medical Centre.
8am: Was put on some sleeping pills....felt slightly drowsy
9.30am: Wheeled into operating theatre to wait
approx 10.30am: put on operating table....give some anasthetic....and KNOCKED out!

approx 12.30pm: woke up with a terrible SORE Throat and blocked nose

For the rest of Wed and Thurs, had to breathe through my mouth as my nose was completely blocked with tubes and gauze, to stop bleeding of nose clearing op (called "cauterisation" or something). My throat was so dry and painful, it was a miserable two days.

Well, the presence of wife, SS and my parents, in laws and brothers helped very much, also the appearence of good friends.....

On Friday morn, I thought I was able to be discharged, but after the doctor removed the gauze from my nose, we discovered there was still bleeding.... had to stuff it with more gauze and extended one more day for observation.

Anyway, I am back home now but still partially bed ridden, and cannot speak much yet, still groggy and on medication...... and on a very strict "soft diet".

Thank you all for your well wishes again. Hope to be well on my feet again in a week or so....
